Why Should Christians Be Involved in Government?

Marriage—God’s First
Institution Right
and Wrong Can’t Be Equal Should we be “fair” and allow homosexuals
to have the same rights and privileges as exist in marriage between one man
and one woman? God created marriage
and blessed that relationship with children. The Bible clearly teaches the father, mother, and children
have certain responsibilities. The
Bible also teaches that sodomy is an abomination to God. To say that homosexuals should have
equal rights is the same as saying that evil is equal to righteousness. Every Christian should be involved in
defending marriage. The Defense of Marriage Act
was passed and signed into law during the administration. In order to protect this act from the
Supreme court, the Marriage Protection Act, HR 3313, has been
introduced. It withholds
jurisdiction from the federal courts. A constitutional amendment to
protect marriage has been introduced in the House (HJ Res 56) and in the
Senate (SJ Res 30). Please see the
back for action you need to take. “...Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty.” 2
Corinthians 3:17 Election Highlights Liberal Republican
Senator Arlen Spector won the Pennsylvania Primary on April 27th. Conservative Pat Toomey lost the
election by one percent. Polls show that Kerry will win
and other states that will provide him with enough electoral votes to
become our next President. Ralph
Nader got 50,000 votes in in the last election, but he will not be on the
ballot this year. Those 50,000
voters will most likely vote for Kerry. Four million Christians did
not vote in the 2000 election. This
year’s election can be a banner year toward reclaiming for Christ, or it
can be a major disaster for the Christian cause. It all depends on the Christian citizens. If they will register and vote for
candidates with Christian morals, the victory will be ours. Prayer

Our Founding Fathers, under God’s
guidance, established our government on Biblical laws. The world community was amazed. How could our government last very long
without a king and ruling class?
Our government was designed to be the servant of the people. God created three
institutions: marriage, the church,
and civil government. All
Christians need to be involved in preserving these institutions. All three are inter-related and depend
on each other. Christians, through
negligence, have allowed our Supreme Court to become a tyrant. Now we are ruled by atheists who have
made many ungodly laws (abortion, legalized sodomy, laws against prayer and
Bible reading in the government schools, etc.). The Constitution does not allow judges to make laws. The separation of church and state is
not in the Constitution. This year Christians have a
great opportunity to restore our government. A number of Christian statesmen have introduced bills that
withhold jurisdiction from the Supreme Court as permitted by the
Constitution. One bill is titled “The
Constitution Restoration Act”.
Pastor Chuck Baldwin of in , said, “This is the most important
legislation in fifty years.” Every
Christian should ask their Congressional representative and two senators to
support this bill. (see back) Abortion Can Be Stopped This Year Every Christian should understand that abortion is an
abomination unto God. We now have
the means to stop legalized abortion in . The “Right to Life Act”,
sponsored by Rep. Cliff Stearns and others, has been introduced in
Congress. It is based on the
Fourteenth Amendment and on the fact that life begins at conception. The Supreme Court does not have the
power to over-rule a constitutional amendment. The Constitution Restoration Act, if passed and signed, will
prevent the Supreme Court from having jurisdiction on this law. Legalized abortions of more
than 43 million babies have taken place since 1973. This year, millions of Christian
citizens must let their voices be heard across our land and in the chambers
and halls of Congress. See the back
for action you need to take.
